This is the 5th anniversary of holding our Bike the Drive event. We are back at it in 2019! We invite you again this year to join fellow alumni, families, friends, students and staff for mingling and breakfast at our 5th annual gathering before the famous Fifth Third Bank Bike The Drive event on Sunday, May 26, 2019. In addition to a complimentary continental breakfast, we’ve also worked out a special event fee for adults of our Illinois Tech community (please see below for discount codes). With Chicago recently being named one of the best bicycling cities in America by Bicycling magazine, join us as we celebrate with a ride on the city’s crown jewel roadway — Lake Shore Drive. Once a year, people on two wheels own Lake Shore Drive during Fifth Third Bank Bike the Drive! See a sunrise over Lake Michigan, hear the birds chirp and enjoy the views of Chicago’s skyline as you experience the best of the city by bike. Join us to celebrate 18 years of this iconic summertime starter! We look forward to having you join us for a great time and a view of Chicago we get to see only once a year!
